little quips of the pencil that curl up our eye-lashes and dimple
our faces more than all the Vatican gallery. They are trifles--aye,
"trifles light as air"--but their influence convinces us that trifling
is part of the great business of life.

Now we are trifling our readers' time; so to recommend the _Christmas
Box_ for 1829, as one of the prettiest presents, and as much better
suited to children than was its predecessor--and--pass we off.

Here our motley-minded sheet finishes, and we leave our readers in
possession of its sweet fancies. Its little compartments of poetry and
prose remind us of mosaic work, and its sentimentalities have all the
varieties of the kaleidoscope. To gladden the eye, study the taste,
and improve the heart, of each reader has been our aim--feelings which
we hope pervade this and every other Number of the MIRROR.

Number 340 of the MIRROR contains the Notices of the Literary
Souvenir, Forget-Me-Not, Gem, and Amulet, and with the present Number
forms the Spirit of the Annuals for 1829.
